Why are the hottest and coldest places on earth over land, not over water?

Physics

mafiozo [28]3 years ago
4 0
Because the heat capacity of water is very high, meaning that it can absorb a big amount of energy (heat) while its temperature increases less than what it does in other bodies that have lower heat capacities.

In terms of equations:

Q α Cp * ΔT => ΔT is inversely related to Cp => if Cp is higher ΔT is lower.

The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the _____________ of the electric field.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer;

the potential difference

The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the potential difference of the electric field

Explanation;

An electric current results from the collective movement of free charges under the effect of an electric field. An electric field exists and can be observed in the space around a single charge or a number of charges.

Electric fields cause charges to move. It stands to reason that an electric field applied to some material will cause currents to flow in that material. In other words, the current density is directly proportional to the electric field. The constant of proportionality σ is called the material’s conductivity.

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s

distance traveled before coming to rest d_1=120\ ft

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1

for u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s

using same relation we get

0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}

d_2=213.32\ ft

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

A person with mass 65 kg, standing still, throws an object at 4 m/s. If the
fenix001 [56]

Explanation:

Momentum before = momentum after

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

(65 kg) (0 m/s) + m (0 m/s) = (65 kg) (-3.5 m/s) + m (4 m/s)

m ≈ 57 kg

05. The time required to complete one lap around a perfectly circular track having a radius of 1,835 meters is 86
likoan [24]

Answer:

v = 134.06 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a circular track is 1,835 m

Time required to complete one lap around a perfectly circular track is 86 seconds

We need to find the car's velocity. Velocity is equal to,

v=d/t

On circular path,

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{2\pi \times 1835}{86}\\\\v=134.06\ m/s

So, car's velocity is 134.06 m/s.
